I have build doc support in my new kernel . then I wantto make a root system on doc. I make a mini system with the tools "build" from m-sys driver package. then I modified the /etc/lilo.conf: install=/boot/boot.b prompt timeout=50 message=/boot/message default=linux image=/boot/vmlinux-2.4.2-2 label=linux read-only root=/dev/hda5 image=/boot/bzImage-doc label=doc read-only root=/dev/hda5 image=/boot/bzImage-doc label=bootfromdoc read-only root=/dev/nftla1 I have test it .If I select "doc" label ,every is ok.I can find /dev/nftla1 ,can write /read it. but If I select "bootfromdoc" , I get some trouble. afer loading kernel , the initialization of kernel seems fine. but when it enter the initab part, It cannot pass e2fsck, then immediately reboot . Because I dont know how I can get the output of boot information in this situation ( normally after boot, I use dmesg) so , after many times'reboot ,I gather only a litte information: bad magic number in superblock when trying to open /dev/nftla how can I get over this problem ? or how you guys make your fine root file system? ----------------------------------------- 买虚拟主机送国际域名及邮箱 http://www.999k.net 亿唐生活品牌第一主打 http://bag.etang.com/payment_1.htm 亿唐短信,您贴身的时尚顾问 http://sms.etang.com 美国大学之门为你而开 百分百拿奖学金 http://campus.etang.com/html/academic/usa/scho/scho017.htm
